Happy New Year

Happy New Year to all our family, friends and readers; we hope you had an enjoyable evening ringing in the new year. It seems like only a couple of years ago we rang in the millennium, wow, can you believe it was 9 year ago!

Our new year wasn’t at all exciting, actually we were tucked up watching a movie in bed at 8pm and asleep by 10. With it being so damp we both caught bad colds with the most dreadful cough, so we were in no mood to celebrate. We did go for a nice meal and I had a few beers earlier in the day. We had planned on going home to change and head our for the night but Sam got much worse so it was time to wrap up for the night.

We woke this morning feeling somewhat better and the sun is out for the fist time in 5 days so the air is clear and we should start to recover rather quickly, I hope.

We are stuck in limbo, we had hoped to make our way across to the island of Flores to see the Komodo dragons (min 8 hrs travelling) but neither of us has the energy or inclination to pack or be stuck on a ferry for that long so we need to revise our plans. More on that later.
